Dallas QB Tony Romo Collapses

PHILADELPHIA – Tony Romo’s three turnovers were momentarily meaningless Sunday night when players started yelling in the shower after he collapsed because of the pain from a rib injury.

Athletic trainer Jim Maurer and his staff rushed into the shower as the locker room came to a near standstill. A stretcher was wheeled in, but Romo was eventually helped to his feet and taken into the training room.

When asked later what happened, Romo said, “Um, you know, I was just a little banged up, I guess.”

Romo waived off questions about his health just like he dismissed another December swoon. His turnovers were a key reason why the Cowboys had their backs to the wall. Another interception and two fumbles fueled the blowout loss to the Eagles.

A painful end to what once looked to be a positive season for the Cowboys…
